The Chinese word 海滨 (hǎibīn), meaning "seaside" or "coast," is a compound noun formed through a coordinative or associative morphological process. It combines two independent, semantically related morphemes: 海 (hǎi), meaning "sea," and 滨 (bīn), meaning "shore" or "bank." Together, they create a single lexical unit where the meaning of the whole is derived from the immediate juxtaposition and intersection of its parts—specifically, the zone where the sea meets the land. This structure exemplifies a common pattern in Chinese word formation where two nouns with related meanings are combined to specify a precise, composite concept.
